A reminder to everyone in this thread to watch Documentary Now! if you like documentaries. One of my favorite shows ever, it does a brilliant job of paying homage to and poking fun at some of the most famous documentaries out there.

If you post it like this, I read this as "1-27 ranked, rest unranked". After clicking the link I noticed that there are no more than 27 titles on your list. Better not mention numbers if your list it completely ranked.

Maybe he only just now revised it, but I see 64 total titles on his list.

I was mistaken. Remind me I shouldn't do this kind of work with kids running around me.

Decided to leave off experimental, non-narrative documentaries (such as Fata Morgana, Mysterious Object at Noon or Too Early/Too Late) for this list as I think those sort of occupy their own space, but I don't really mind if someone else chose to include them. Lessons of Darkness was kind of on the edge but I decided it had enough of a narrative to include it, as there's no doubt for the viewer they're watching a film about the Kuwaiti oil fires even if the narrator frames the story differently. These are just my opinions!
